[PATCH v5 35/44] tty: Drop "tty is NULL" flip buffer diagnostic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Although this warning uncovered a multitude of races and errors
in the tty and ldisc layers, this diagnostic now has too many
false-positives.

An expected outcome of the separation of driver i/o paths from
tty lifetimes (added in 3.9) is that the tty may already be
in advanced stages of teardown when scheduled flip buffer work
runs. Ldisc i/o is prevented in this case because flush_to_ldisc()
cannot acquire an ldisc reference.
